this study investigated intra-specific variation in the growth parameters and dry mat-ter partitioning of sugar beet cultivars at different levels of salinity (0, 50, 150, 250 and 350 mm nacl + cacl2 in 5:1 molar ratio) using four cvs, one british (madison) and three iranian cvs (7233-p12, 7233-p21 and 7233-p29). the plants were grown in a controlled greenhouse environment for about 18 weeks. a...

Limited mesophyll diffusion conductance to CO(2) (g(m)) can significantly constrain plant photosynthesis, but the extent of g(m)-limitation is still imperfectly known. As g(m) scales positively with foliage photosynthetic capacity (A), the CO(2) drawdown from substomatal cavities (C(i)) to chloroplasts (C(C), C(i)-C(C)=A/g(m)) rather than g(m) alone characterizes the mesophyll diffusion limitat...

Coupling battery storage to renewable plants is increasingly common in the United States, where a third of proposed solar capacity now includes storage. Adding batteries increases average value energy sold, can reduce losses curtailment, and incentivized through investment tax credit. Additionally, coupling renewables with saves on permitting, planning, construction costs compared developing pr...

This paper provides a conceptual framework for increasing our understanding of the relationships between plant resistance to insect herbivores and insect herbivore influences on ecosystem nutrient cycling and succession. For a given plant species, adequate nutrient/light availability favors establishment and productivity; small insect herbivore populations regulated by plant biochemistry stimul...

in order to study of the effect of priming and salinity on physiological and chemical characteristics of wheat(triticum aestivum l.), an experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of shiraz university. results showedthat primed plants significantly reduced its gas exchanges by accelerating senescence under a series of salt stress,which became more serious along with the increasing of s...
